Well, my Black Eye Friday is well and truly Donald Ducked for the second year on the spin. My mate who I traditionally go out with on this very day is at some +ve, so this will have to wait another year.
meanwhile shagger ferguson is predicting omicron will reap 5,000 deaths a DAY if we don't lockdown.South Africa delivered some positive news on the omicron coronavirus variant on Friday, reporting a much lower rate of hospital admissions and signs that the wave of infections may be peaking.
Only 1.7% of identified Covid-19 cases were admitted to hospital in the second week of infections in the fourth wave, compared with 19% in the same week of the third delta-driven wave, South African Health Minister Joe Phaahla said at a press conference.
Health officials presented evidence that the strain may be milder, and that infections may already be peaking in the country’s most populous province, Gauteng.
Don't know if that prediction is true Beavis, but in any case I'd be happy to put Ferguson up against a wall and pull the trigger for all the chaos, fear and damage he's caused this country already.Beavis Danzig wrote: ↑Fri Dec 17, 2021 5:39 pm https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles ... much-lower

A little. He’s there to advise and offer his opinion. It’s the MPs who have to take the decision based on the evidence they’re given.Plashet Grove Pete wrote: ↑Fri Dec 17, 2021 6:03 pm".
Anyone still prepared to defend this piece of sh*t?

“If you have enough cases per day, the resulting number of hospitalisations we think could still pose potentially major challenges for any health system,” Ferguson added.
Let's break that gobsh*tes words down.

Science at it's best. The lump of sh*t makes Derek Acorah look like a sage.
Trust the experts? Just go f*ck yourself you four eyed git.
I honestly can't believe you still let this stuff get you so angry. It's not good for you!Plashet Grove Pete wrote: ↑Fri Dec 17, 2021 6:15 pm Hey, just found Ferguson's quote of today:

If there was a prominent scientist that wasn't caveating a series of unknowns with "if one set of numbers get out of hand, another might as well" then I'd suggest they're failing to do their job.In separate research, an international team tested the effectiveness of six vaccines against omicron. It found that all of them – Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, Sinopharm, Johnson & Johnson and Sputnik – produced fewer antibodies that neutralise omicron than the original coronavirus, and the latter three produced hardly any. The research has yet to be peer-reviewed.
The team says that UK data so far do not suggest the risk of becoming severely ill is any lower with omicron than with delta. However, this means the risk to people with no immunity, Ferguson made clear. Because most people do now have immunity, the proportion requiring hospitalisation should be lower than in previous waves, but this is factored into the modelling.
“People should not be complacent,” he says. “If you have enough cases per day, the resulting number of hospitalisations, we think, can still pose potentially major challenges for any health system.”
I agree. Though if he's right, me, you, my family, your family, and everyone on this thread could, given the current spread and projections, based on my scenarios, potentially be dead in a month.

Not sure where you've got that quote from but it's very important that it's seen along with this info (and bad journalism rather than bad science if not)...
From the front page of today's Guardian. Read by millions of people, some of whom will be terrified of this. Still f*ck 'em I guess, If they can be hoodwinked by snake oil, it's their own fault.
And I'm not angry at all DDA. I think it's hilarious. A complete, and utter f*cking joke.

Still, see you all at Glastonbury next year if we survive this tsunami / tidal wave / h**********

It's better for the mind Remember current vaccines are effective to some degree against new variants, they are just less effective relative to the older ones.sussexhammer74 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 17, 2021 7:34 pm If you catch this new variant and survive, will you need to have the booster jab given that the next variant will probably arrive on these shores just before Easter?
